On Sunday, Ajay Devgn shared a heartwarming video remembering his father and late action director Shri Veeru Devgan on his 89th birth anniversary.

The video opened with Ajay Devgn recording himself from a snow-clad landscape and speaking sincerely into the camera, “He’s always been my inspiration. And today, I exist because he does.” It also featured old montages from the sets of ‘Phool Aur Kante,’ where Veeru was directing Ajay through an action sequence in the actor’s debut film. In the montage, Veeru spoke about how he had believed his son would grow up to be an actor– whether he would be successful would be up to the audience’s graciousness, but as a father he had tried his level best.
